False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Marine mammals! Genitals! Drugs!I once worked for a company that specialised in marine biology. They were doing a study into using psychedelic chemicals to stimulate marine mammals genitals and see if they could improve captive breeding programs. The easiest method to apply the drugs to the genetials was through a permeable cover which would tear/rip off once sexual activity began between the animals. However the company never got the required licenses in place to begin testing on live animals. Instead they had to use "simulated" dummy animals to test the absorption rate of the psychedelic drugs from the cover to the creature. The trial never really went anywhere due to no adequate method of simulating the animals being developed and no zoo was going to let their sea mammals take part in medical trials involving ecstasy being applied to their rude bits.
For years we had boxes of the test products sitting round the warehouse behind the labs. It took quite a few years after the trial was cancelled before anyone threw out the boxes of Faux Seal, Condom E's.
